No action on Madison County energy project

The future of a multi-million dollar alternative energy project at the Madison County landfill is still uncertain, as county leaders remain locked at an impasse in the ongoing selection of a developer to turn methane gas into electricity.

The discussion in the issue will resume when the full Board of Supervisors meets next month.
